Dammit; should have ordered last night. The coupon is expired now.

By the time I got the deal to load, it was in wait list phase.

Still no joy getting the coupon to work at DeepDiscount and no CS on Sundays. Thanks for the alert on the CyberMonday deal. I canceled my $34.49 and will make myself remember to order it tomorrow for almost $10 less.

I wonder if someone price matched it with Amazon's price and someone made them change it and jack it up to make up for the losses. Used to be they would put price matches right on the website, but now they tend to do it on a customer-by-customer website AND they won't let you do it with a sale...

The BD set dropped at some point? It's up $6 to $225.89 now. Ordered mine at street date for the 219.89 price plus discount code of course.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned it. Amazon would still have a better deal. Managed to find the DD price at dvdpricesearch. Oddly, the links from there will take me to Deep Discount, but I can't get there directly. Amazon's deal is good, but I still haven't gotten around to renting them all, so...

Anyone else having trouble accessing Deep Discount? Maybe they're prepping for the sale. Hopefully not jacking up all the prices. Amazon has a good deal on the Dirty Harry set right now, and I wanted to see how it would compare to the DD sale once it starts.

Good one! Still bitter about that myself. Hope they get it right when that saga hits Blu-ray.

Anyone know if they'll still take rewards certificates? I know they get rung up like gift cards, and they're supposed to still take them.

Man, I was hoping if anything CC went to online only! I constantly get good deals online and get to use my rewards dollars there. The stores near me tend not to get the catalog Blu-rays. This means I'll be doing a lot more driving to use my rewards on movies, and the prices probably won't be as...

Dude, that was a steal. I've waiting on my $30 (maybe less with the dollar's recovery) barebones U.K. set, but for $56 I couldn't pass up the Ultimate Edition. Still might get the U.K. to give as a gift someday. Or even sell it. Don't want to leg go of that awesome pricing error the UK site had...

At least you mentioned the slight edge enhancement. It seemed to me to be the same flawed master from the original DVD release. This looked terrible compared to For Your Eyes Only, exhibiting lots of aliasing for me as well. That could have been exacerbated by the fact I watched it in 1080i, but...

Thanks. I can confirm that "SAVE" works.

^^ This is probably why Sony clamored long ago you'd be best off to have decoding in the player. Just keeps things simpler. I can understand that some might want to decode lossless codecs outside the player (those who fear the jitter), but, yeah, it does get a little ridiculous to want to...

Forgot to mention in my mini-review that upscaling on the 55 looks darned good to me. Though even a good DVD sure wouldn't fool me into thinking it's HD. Looks great from where I sit, but if I walk up a little closer to the screen I can definitely see the video noise on Episode III. That's on...

Was up really late that night hooking things up and testing things out. Very nice player, aside from some slightly clunky setup menus, like the speaker setup, which has been mentioned. No LFE issues for me, though. My receiver must properly apply the boost when connected via the 7.1...

My 55 should be waiting for me when I get home!

That should be taken care of by the player setup when you choose a 5.1 or 7.1 setup

Last I checked it was looking positive it does, but the setup to get it to work properly can be a bit confusing. I believe the consensus is it must be kept on "direct."

Someone at AVS claims to have taken apart both the new Sony and the new Panasonic and claims the Sony has better power supplies and a better analog section. This surprised me because Panasonic has always mentioned the high quality audio components in the 55 and Sony has not made a big to-do...

Which of these babies has the best range? Devices can be very finnicky in my apartment. Saw a nice looking new wireless bridge, but the fact that it had only internal antennas made me nervous, though my PS3 surprisingly got just as good a signal where my new player will go as it does in the...

The Panny has a 100 Hz crossover, non-adjustable. Also, you can't adjust the SW level in the player, whereas you can with the Sony.

I believe the Panny just takes a flash card, and you have to buy your own.

Got any DTS HD MA 7.1 discs to test the decoding on? Preferably a newer one without the problematic New Line flags. Some AVS posters are only getting 5.1 from Hairspray and Shoot Em Up (same as the PS3 did before a firmware upgrade). Golden Compass might be a good title to try. That always...

At AVS there are screencaps of the audio setup menu. You can choose 7.1 or 5.1 + 2-channel downmix. (The player uses the regular stereo jacks as the back surrounds when 7.1 is engaged.) I feel kind of silly. Years ago when I wanted 7.1 outputs so bad I was actually going to be running a 7.1...

The guys at AVS suggested a wireless bridge. I'd like to know if there are better ones out there than the old standby Linksys models before I plunk down $70 to $100 for one.

Funny how that updated info at Sony Style turned this into a Panny thread hijack!

Do they have 7.1 analog outputs? My old budget Pioneer receiver probably isn't worthy of the Wolfson. The Panny's audio section is supposed to be pretty good. It's available for pre-order at $400 at Amazon right now (though not easily advertised; shows another vendor first -- have to go to...

Sure does look that way. Sony just made up my mind; I'll be getting the Panasonic BD-55, which really does do everything. So I give up a USB port; I gain lossless decoding and likely a better audio section.

thought I read that because of the confusion they extended the sale to the 25th.
